How does LawnBott robotic lawn mower know where it is going?
A thin wire is pegged around the perimeter of your yard and around obstacles that are lower than 4 inches high. This wire connects to the charging base. The LawnBott charging base duals as a transmitter, which sends a low voltage signal around the wire. The LawnBott robotic lawn mower can “see” this signal with great accuracy – even in total darkness. To mow, it backs out of its charging station, follows the wire to specific parts of your yard (front yard, back yard, side and so on) then mows inside that zone. Once it’s done or the batteries are low, it follows the wire back to the charging base while trimming the border to self-charge. The LawnBott LB3500 robotic lawn mower can have 4 different mowing zones, and the LawnBott LB3200 Evolution lawn mower can have 3 different mowing zones. If you need help setting up the LawnBott lawn mower, please let us know. We’ll be more than glad to set up your zones free of charge.
